The proud, indigenous people of New Zealand who unfortunately are the victims of the idiotic reasonings of many a misinformed Pakeha. Many Pakeha unfortunately lack any comprehension of the treaty or the numerous misappropriations of the treaty by the crown after 1840 and unfortunately continue to violate the treaty to this day. Many seem to erroneously believe that Maori gave away all their land, when in actual fact tha vast majority of it was stolen, as anyone who has studied history on 1840-plus history will know, the "confiscation" of land by the crown to fund wars ironically on land owners in the King Country region. Many Pakeha (white people) are jealous of the Maori culture as they have no culture of their own, considering their ancestors were mostly illiterate and were dregs of European society in their homelands.
"I'm a dumb redneck National voter who likes to bitch and moan about them Maoris whilst ignoring the numerous injustices against the various iwi by the crown over the last 166 years because I'm a smelly jealous loser with no sense of culture and I'm jealous of those who have culture, including any indigenous peoples that live here!"

Get the Maoism mug.Originating in China over 15000 years ago and travelling through Indonesia, the Phillipines, Egypt and Tahiti, and finally settling in New Zealand (Aotearoa), modern scholars and new technology shows that the Maori people, and in general the Polynesian geneolgy, are a mix of these races. Maori believe that the journey was made from a mythical land called 'Hawaiki' (which is most probably land in the South Pacific). Today, maori people are native to New Zealand and enjoy equal rights, however, many of the people can be found in Australia and other bordering countries.
A proud race of warrior people, with a great amount of knowledge about the cultivation of land and extensive in the Art of War. A very handsome race, and has been described by European settlers as the most civilized 'tribal' people encountered on their journeys across the world. Settlers were impressed with the Maori take on Christianity and religious sects.
In contrast, fierce battles took place for the ownership of land, however; the Maori could not be defeated so Settlers employed dirty tricks to rob the people of their land. Today, Maori people have found employment difficult to sustain and tend to 'live in the moment' spending government funds on alcohol and tobacco. The last full maori died in the 1960's

Get the Maork mug.Maomao origins from the word mao, which is a shortened form of lmao. Maomao is a "cuter" way of saying lmao, although it has two meanings. It's first meaning was the same as lmao, but then, and unknown time later, it acquired a secondary definition. The second definition was "cute." If you hear someone say maomao, they could be saying something is funny, or that something is cute.
So the other day, Jenny walked around without realizing she had a huge sticky note in her hair!
Maomao!
Aw, I just maomao'd so hard!
Ooooh! That kitty is super maomao!
